In addition to providing a real-time view, the Vue Pro will also automatically store all data to allow for subsequent inspection and analyzation of the recorded footage. It captures and saves 14-bit photos and 8-bit digital videos in MJPEG and H.264 formats to its dedicated micro-SD card for hassle-free storage and retrieval.

Versatile Functionality for Commercial Applications

Thermal drone operators can utilize the FLIR Vue Pro’s enhanced flexibility and reliable performance in providing thermal photos and videos for a diverse range of applications. With its powerful thermal imaging core and adaptable mounting options, this camera can be used for gathering accurate infrared imagery in search and rescue operations, precision agriculture, power line inspections, security operations, surveying, and much more.

Future MAVLink (Micro Air Vehicle Link) compatibility also allows for more advanced camera features, such as automated image capture and geo-tagging.

Advanced Image Stitching and 4D Photo Mapping

The FLIR Vue Pro is also a handy tool for accurate thermal mapping and aerial surveys. It is fully compatible with the innovative Pix4DMapper software, through which the device can use MAVLink technology in triggering the camera to capture and stitch multiple still images to create impressive 2D maps and 3D models. 4D outputs will be automatically georeferenced with real-world coordinates to better serve as highly advanced multi-dimensional visual aids for later analysis.

* Because the analog video output resolutions (640 × 480 and 320 × 240, respectively) are less than the full sensor resolution captured when saving digital stills and video, their resultant fields of view are slightly smaller as well. Both sets of values are shown here to allow operators the option of choosing the FOVs that most accurately reflect their pre-flight planning requirements.

** Note: The HDMI output is not intended for use to drive a television or display. The micro-HDMI connector outputs HDMI video for live digital video downlink systems like DJI Lightbridge and 3DR Solo.
